We don't have a PA system, but we do have a program called One Call Now. It's a subscription service. We can record messages or type them in. Then they go out as a phone call to the whole group or to chosen smaller groups. It has really helped us to get information out without going door to door or leaving notes.

Last year, I had coffee mugs donated from a local bank. I put a "mug cake" mix, lollipop and birthday button in each mug. Then, I wrapped it up in a cellophane bag and attached a birthday card. It was a big hit.

What about using the Arm Chair travel and cover a different country each month?

The Armchair Travel on this website is awesome! You can do everything from watching you tube to playing music to tasting food while you learn about different countries.

My residents absolutely love the armchair travel series!
